wow. that's a wonderful score, Preat. Many Congratulations!!

okay, in verbal, what 's the pattern of first 10-12 questions? RCs??
I am not afraid of going head on with RCs, but these can go wrong. Were the passages too intricate? lauguage and scope? history or contemporary?

Thanks dj.

No CR's till the 11th question. Two RC's and the rest SC's.

SC's:

In the first 20 questions, I used idioms only sparingly in my analysis of SC's ...some of the SC's were tough...My plan was to get done with SC's as soon as possible...but i easily took 2 minutes for most of the SC's.

CR :

CR was quite ok actually. but what can one expect after..anandnk and asandeep's wonderful contribution to my CR skills.

RC :

i always believe that doing RC's correctly is critical to breach 40 in verbal. I never got the really tough SC's and one can safely assume that Three RC passages in the first 20 questions had a lot to do with that.

Considering that not many make it past a 40 Verbal, i get the feeling that we work too hard in SC's and relatively less for RC's.

I took the gmat today. many thanks to akamaibrah,stolyar,stoolfi,martin,wondergmat, dj,asandeep, anandnk,titliest for all your contributions to my preparation.

Quant - Nothing in principle was difficult. A bit of thinking usually leads to the right answer. this said, quant took a lot out of me.

Verbal - Sentence Correction was almost the same difficulty level as we do here everyday....CR and RC were ok,except for one tough RC.

Questions are welcome.

EDIT : stoolfi, i was really tired when i wrote this. sorry i forgot to mention your name.

thankspraetorian
